Picc versus PIC, sm
Subject: Picc versus PIC, sm

Actually they are two different things, according to my sources.  The PICC (peripherally inserted central catheter) is inserted to the vena cava, thus it is "central."  The PIC (peripherally inserted catheter) is inserted locally, not to the vena cava.  I actually had one of these, it was in my AC space.  PICC is the term that is used unless they specify local.  If anyone has any other info I would be interested to hear it.  Thanks.

What's the verb of dialysis?

What is the correct way to type the verb of dialysis?  I have a Dr saying "she __ on Monday, Wednesday and Friday."  He is talking about dialysis, so would it be "She dialysis on Monday, Wednesday and Friday"?  That doesn't make sense to me, but that is what he's saying!
